You are not special.
My dad had been playing this game and in a players bio was the sentence "you are not special" and a link to the first song, the rest of the playlist was to try and capture and recreate the feelings i associated with the first song.

Julian Casablancas+The Voidz - Human Sadness

the first song its place is inevitable in this list because it is the basis on which I made it.

Sufjan Stevens - Age of Adz 

similarly noisy, this song was recommended to me by a total stranger who had witnessed me comment the first song on a post for recommending music. Still don't know the guy but the song earned its place here.

Radiohead - Videotape

earns its place for its deceptive syncopated time (the piano is actually playing on the ands, not the down beat) and for its spooky verse about "pearly gates" which can be likened to Casablancas line about the field beyond right and wrong.

JUNKY - BROCKHAMPTON

the song has phases similar to the first song and also contains a verses about some family issues like the dead dad ballad that Human Sadness is.

LCD Soundsystem - New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down

I am not sure if this song should be in this playlist but I am obsessed with it, its about being insignificant, its a social commentary and it is split into two parts, all features shared with the title of this playlist and the song for which it was made. Additionally both this song and the first song are very very different from their artist's typical discography.

Roar - The Comfort Of A Laugh Track

this song switches more than bohemian rhapsody features droopy guitar solos and a somewhat depressing feel and shares human sadness's obsession with disappointing those around you.

Zach Hill - The Sacto Smile

unintelligible verses and a tempo driven by, as far as i can tell, someone blaring radio static at max volume. Seems legit.

Death Grips - On GP

weird interpersonal relationships with your neighbor and some great guitar. earns its place for its overall noisy-ness and outsider's narrative. also it goes hard.
